McClellan. The was General Joseph Hooker. Hooker accepted the appointment on the condition he would report directly to President Lincoln instead of the normal command structure that placed General in Chief Henry W. Halleck as his immediate superior general. The deal also by passed Secretary of War, Edward Stanton.Hooker took immediate action to follow the steps that George McClellan had taken when he first took command of the Army of the Potomac. Hooker drilled his men, cleaned up the camps to be spotless and had them on parade. This was needed after the army's horrible defeat under Burnside at Fredericksburg. Hooker and Lincoln agreed that Hooker's first assignment was to destroy the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. After that, Hooker would focus on taking Richmond. Hooker and Lincoln were confident that the past failures of McClellan and Burnside that demoralized the Union's premier army were now over. When he believed his troops were ready, he was prepared to execute his plans to assault Lee.
